what do you think would have to happen for ppl to collectively shift their attention away from the artist and toward the art ? or do you think it’s even possible for us to do on our own volition ?
there would probably need to be a rather drastic action. that's why I think this Swift stuff a moment where it could happen. you need a celebrity at a specific status to do something just disagreeable enough to cause the fanbase to "wake up" y'know? generally I think people are less likely to change unless they understand how things are affecting them, and in the case of this stan culture stuff, they have to be hit where it hurts. Kanye is a great example of this. fans have to answer tough questions. when your favorite is a bad person, what does that make you?
great post! I’ve been spending less time on twitter because I just see so many people acting like they KNOW celebrities & I’ve been catching myself doing it a lot too !!!
